From our modern clinics across Sheffield and Leeds, we deliver detailed, independent pre-signing medical assessments. Designed to provide clarity on injury risk, performance considerations, and overall health, our assessments are rapid, discreet and use advanced diagnostics. With this service, we help clubs make confident, informed decisions.
A pre-signing medical assessment evaluates health and performance. Before a new player signs with a club, it is often a requirement. The examination combines medical imaging, testing and specialist review to identify existing conditions, assess risk and support safe participation in sport. This assessment is more valuable than simply confirming an athlete’s performance: one study found a 90% reduction in sudden cardiac deaths among athletes participating in screening programmes.
At LivingCare, pre-signing medicals can be delivered as a complete package or tailored to your specific clinical or performance needs.
We understand that transfer deadlines, media commitments and internal pressures demand fast turnaround times. Our services are flexible, discreet and carefully managed to meet time constraints without compromising the quality of care or service.
Pre-signing medicals support clubs and athletes by identifying current or previous injuries that may affect performance or future injury risk. Combining advanced technology and techniques with expert-led care and assessment, we support informed decisions.
Before Your Appointment
Our team works directly with the club to agree on the scope of testing, scheduling and any priority areas. Before the athlete’s appointment, they do not need to prepare anything.
During Your Appointment
Medical experts conduct testing in a calm, clean, and professional environment. Diagnostics may include advanced imaging, physiological testing and specialist assessments. The appointment can last up to six hours, depending on the agreed package.
After Your Appointment
The athlete will go home once all tests are complete. The LivingCare team will process results and compile them into a clear report. Where required, findings are reviewed collaboratively across specialities to ensure accuracy and consistency.
The tests are considered safe. The healthcare team will discuss any specific risks tailored to the athlete and the tests.
